If we agree on it, then we can talk solutions.

Any "solutions" involve gaining compliance from developing countries that are never going to go along with our quest to save the world. These solutions are also likely to hit the poor hardest, making them poorer in places where they can't be much poorer.

Solutions are being proposed...things like fracking and nuclear power provide much cleaner energy than oil and coal. However, environmentalists reflexively (and quite anti-scientifically, I should add) oppose these measures, instead advocating an unrealistic kind of minimalist approach that is not going to meet the needs of our planet's population.

So even if I want to accept the premise offered by these climate scientists, that doesn't mean I ought to consider them experts on what economic measures are required to fix climate change.
